The Austrian Blitz |
Introduction
Take
the
rules
and
throw
them
out
of
the
window,
they
are
of
no
use
here!
With
those
out
of
the
way,
I’d
like
to
take
you
back
to
a
time
when
insanity
was
sanity,
and
we
thrived
on
it!
This Quote by Arnold Schwarzenegger is from 1975"I finally arrived at the idea of shocking the muscles. So once a week
I took a training partner and drove out into the country with the weights. We
limited ourselves to one exercise for a particular body part. I remember for the
first day we carried 250 pounds into the forest and did squats for two hours
straight. I began by doing 20 repetitions with 250 pounds; then my partner
did whatever he could. Then it was my turn again. We ended up doing something
like 55 sets of squats each. The last hour seemed endless. But it worked. Our
thighs pumped up like balloons. That first day we gave our thigh muscles such a
shock that we couldn't walk right for a week and each of us put something like
an eighth or a quarter of an inch on our thighs; they just blew up. They had no
chance to survive except to grow. We made it a regular thing. We brought girls
out there to cook. We made a fire outdoors and turned the whole thing into a
little contest. We worked hard, but we had a good time. After the
muscle-shocking sessions, we drank wine and beer and got drunk and carried on
like the old-time weightlifters sometimes it be came pure insanity."
What
Arnold
displayed
here
was
the
mentality
of
a
warrior.
However
it
went
beyond
this,
well
beyond!
The
man
had
an
undying
passion
for
this
sport,
and
it
shown
through
in
perhaps
an
unmatched
way.
Step
1
The
first
step
is
to
set
a
day
aside
with
your
training
partner.
You
will
be
executing
the
“
modern
day
“
Austrian
Blitz
at
either
your
house
or
his/her’s,
rather
than
the
gym.
Step
2
Your
second
step
is
to
choose
either
a
lagging
body
part,
or
even
a
body
part
that
you
have
the
most
fun
working! Step 3At this point you need to choose one simple exercise, that does not require much equipment and can be performed in your living room. If your forearms need work choose seated dumbbell or barbell wrist curls. If your biceps need work, you might choose standing barbell curls or seated dumbbell curls. Perhaps you want to work on your tear drop muscle, then I would suggest sissy squats! Once you choose this exercise, you will stick with it for the entire workout and use it to bombard the target area like never before! Step 4I
would
suggest
getting
a
very
motivating
movie.
I
prefer
pumping
iron
myself!
The
film
should
last
between
one
and
a
half
to
two
hours!
This
is
the
amount
of
time
in
which
you
and
your
partner
will
train.
Step 5Plan a huge meal to eat after your workout routine! This is of extreme importance! Remember this is to be a fun event. I suggest buying a few steaks, some French bread and some baked potatoes! You should prepare a feast! We workout like animals, but we also will eat like animals. Putting it all together!If you are to carry this method out, then you need to have the proper mentality! And that as Arnold stated so eloquently is to carry yourself like a bodybuilder of yester your. When insanity was sanity! You are going to break all of the rules! Your notion of over training needs to be placed on the back burner along with everything else! Your full concentration is to blast the living daylights out of a particular body part and then eat a feast that is fit for a king! Gains You Will Receive and WhyIn
order
to
get
gains
from
this
you
will
only
want
to
perform
it
during
a
bulk
when
you
can
increase
calories
to
accommodate
the
workout
and
no
more
than
once
a
week.
If
you
follow
these
guidelines,
you
will
notice
unbelievable
growth
in
the
target
area!!!!!
You
will
experience
these
gains
for
the
following
reasons: 1.
The
body
is
used
to
performing
multiple
exercises
per
body part,
by
bombarding
the
area
with
only
one
exercise
you
will
shock
it
into
growth.
If
the
body
is
not
prepared
for
it,
it
will
be
forced
to
adapt,
hence
muscular
growth.
This
is
why
I
advocate
doing
this
on
a
bulk,
when
the
calories
will
be
there
to
accommodate
this
hypertrophy.
2. You will essentially be performing “ endless “ sets. While many consider this over training, performed every once in a while it can lead to tremendously unbelievable mass! The countless array of sets will target and stimulate a mind boggling array of muscle fibers! 3. You will flush the area with more life giving blood than it is used to. This will not only bring nutrients to the area accentuating growth, but will also promote capillarization. Which means that your vascularity will increase as well as specific conditioning to the area. 4. You will alleviate stress! I find that this session is extremely enjoyable! Weight training shouldn’t be more stressful than it has to be. This will lower stress, and I cannot exaggerate how anabolic that is! 5. You know the anabolic power of food. By eating like a maniac afterwards you will create an environment that is optimal for growth! OverviewI call it the modern blitz, because rather than being performed in the woods, it is performed in your own living room. Simply rent a movie, pick an exercise and perform it, back and forth until the movie has finished. The only rest you get is while your partner is performing his set! This will be one of the most brutal training methods you have ever used, because for all intensions it is unorthodox, but it works! When you are finished, throw several steaks on the grill, all your favorite side dishes and eat the same way you worked out, like an animal!!!! ConclusionAn article like this can only be understood by a true athlete, one who essentially doesn’t give a damn! I would never try and explain this to an average trainee, because they have neither the heart nor will power to accomplish something so devastatingly hardcore! It is for this reason that I enjoy this magazine, because our readers flat out have guts! With that being said, I wish you the best of luck! Sincerely Jacob
Wilson
